Anyone visiting this group would think that the sailors here...

....Never motor unless dismasted.
....Sail 500 mile passages on a regular basis.
....Fly their spins daily, but never in light air.
....Have regular access to America's Cup boats.
....Have sailed in and survived many horrible storms.

Now, for the most part it's all a lie. Few people here sail anywhere of note,
making a couple of hundred miles at best. Last season I sailed about 150 over a
weekend, and that was all that could be managed in a working couple's life. You
are all weekend warriors for the most part, so get OVER yourselves. If you were
REALLY sailing ANYWHERE you couldn't post here day after day, week after week!
DAYSAILORS ALL!

And that's the TRUTH.
